LOST BOY by M ROBINSON

‘Our love was saving and killing us at the same time.’

Oh, M Robinson! Why do you mess with our hearts in such cruel and agonising ways? We’re sure you sit back laughing manically as you pull at the heartstrings, whilst finding ways to nervously churn the stomachs of your readers! Oh, who are we kidding? We’re gluttons for punishment and keep coming back for the angsty, painful and emotional journey this author promises and always fulfills with her all-consuming stories.

We first me Noah Jameson, the angry young brother of Creed from the Road to Nowhere Duet, and he’s popped up in the Sain-Sinner duet. His relationship with Creed, their past and his pre-determined life as the son of the President of the Devil’s Rejects MC Club in Southport Carolina has always piqued our interest and we’d always hoped M Robinson would write his story.

‘You see, I was born into a world where no matter what, violence solved everything. It was the answer to every question, the solution to every problem, the consequence to every action delivered by none other than my father. I sure as hell blame him for the man I would eventually become. ‘

Lost Boy can be read as a standalone though we especially loved the pieces that fused together from the previous books Noah has appeared in, as M Robinson provided a ‘behind the scenes’ look as it were to the events that took place during that time and how Noah’s place in it all. This author never ceases to amaze us with how she seamlessly threads her stories together.

Noah and Skyler’s story spans twelve years, and we first meet Noah and Skyler at fifteen. Skyler’s innocence was in stark contrast to the tattooed young man who lived a life of torment and danger, who never seemed to be able to catch a break. Whereas Skyler appeared to have her future mapped – she was desperate to become a Hollywood actress and her star was on the rise. However, we immediately knew there was going to be so much more to Skyler than we had first imagined, though nothing could have prepared us for the tumultuous and tragic star-crossed lovers story that would unfold before our eyes.

“I need you to promise something, okay? Please don’t fall in love with me.”

We were drained by the end of Lost Boy! Why? Because M Robinson knows angst, she knows emotion, she knows passion and she certainly knows how to grip her readers from the first page sending our emotions skidding in all directions! From frustration to pain, to sadness, to elation…and then some! This lady doesn’t hold back in telling her story. It’s punishing, heartfelt and feverish storytelling.

There were times we wanted to bang Noah and Skyler’s heads together. They really were their own, and each other’s worst enemy. They say a thin line between love and hate, and Noah and Skyler exemplified this. Both had buried secrets from the past, which they begrudgingly began to share, some left us gobsmacked. The lead up to the climax left us breathless! It was relevant, heartbreaking and topical, and this is a story best enjoyed spoiler free. Do yourselves a favour and let the author lead you through Noah and Skyler’s journey.

‘I was his girl. I had always been his girl.’

Time and time again our hearts were crushed! Crushed we tell you, as we were left wondering if Skyler and Noah would ever find their way. So many obstacles, some at their own hand. Skyler and Noah hated with the same level of passion and emotion as they loved. Theirs was a love so engrossing, raw and unforgiving, we couldn’t help but become swept up in the intensity of it all.

“As much as I wanna fuckin’ hate you with every bone in my body, I can’t stop lovin’ you just as much.”

Her Royal Angstyness again delivered a story that made our hearts race, plummet and soar in the most deliciously messed up way! And that epilogue… oh sigh……And that next book….way to tease us! We can’t wait for THAT story!
